To test mpiJava under Windows NT we had the choice of a number of MPI
implementations to pick from[19]. We chose WMPI from the
Instituto Supererior de Engenharia de Coimbra, Portugal. WMPI is a full
implementation of MPI for Microsoft Win32 platforms. WMPI is based on
MPICH and includes a p4[21] device standard. P4 provides the
communication internals and a startup mechanism. The WMPI package is a
set of libraries (for Borland C++, Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft
Visual FORTRAN). The release of WMPI provides libraries, header files,
examples and daemons for remote start-up. WMPI can co-exist and interact
with MPICH/ch_p4 in a cluster of mixed UNIX and Win32 platforms. WMPI
is still under development and is freely available.
